TT, 22 December 2019, Alipurduar: A person died and six others, including a forest official, suffered injuries in three different accidents in Alipurduar district since Friday night.

Low visibility due to dense fog seems to be the reason behind the accidents, said police officers.

Locals rescued Rai and rushed her to Siliguri where she is under treatment at a nursing home.

A truck collided with the rails of the bridge over the Bania, a local stream, on NH31C on Friday night. The driver and the helper have suffered injuries and are under treatment at the district hospital. Traffic movement was halted on the stretch for around three hours.
